We came around 7pm and were seated right away. Staff served us water upon request and gave us the menus. They took our orders quickly too. I tried their dry vermicelli noodles with two items ($14.75). I chose the grilled chicken and eggroll; both were delicious. Pour some of the sauce on, and *chef's kiss* amazing. read more

The food was underwhelming. We ordered the bún bò Huế, bún riêu, and egg noodles, but the portions were quite small, with very little noodles and meat in each bowl. The vegetables served also didn't seem to match the dishes they were supposed to accompany. The service was okay, but nothing stood out. Overall, the experience didn't impress me, and it wasn't a place I'd be eager to return to. read more

We ordered two pho bowls, fried egg rolls, and a drink -- about $70 total. When we got home, we noticed the pork in the soup had a strange, funky smell. My daughter accidentally tasted a small piece and it was clearly bad. Since it was pork, we weren't willing to take any chances. We called the restaurant to request a refund, and instead of being understanding, they were argumentative and rude. They insisted we exchange the food rather than receive a refund. We were told the only person who could authorize a refund was the owner, who wouldn't be available until tomorrow. At that point, we were already grossed out and definitely didn't want replacement food. Looks like we'll be sticking with Golden Deli in San Gabriel, which is always reliable -- just unfortunate for us that they're closed on Wednesdays. read more

I have to say this was the poorest execution of Vietnamese food I have ever experienced. We had ordered 6 sandwiches, basic beef pho, and their fried pork egg rolls(overpriced) but only thing that's tastes good on the menu. HORRIBLE RENDITION might I add though. Can you imagine this place takes pride in opening knowing they are really ripping you off. Serving you specks of food for a premium. Glad to know I will never support this location ever again. So it started with the grilled pork sandwiches aka their banh mi. Absolutely no meat what so ever. There was one sliver of pork in that sandwich. Come guys, wake up. Pork is 3-4 dollars a POUND. Wouldn't hurt for this business to be less stingy. Add more meat to your sandwiches it's 10 bucks put some damn meat in the bread. After calling and requesting to speak to the manager, it proved this place should never have earned my business that day from the get go. Rude, incompetent, and lack of common sense to actually engage in a normal discussion. The tone and lack of respect was absolutely unacceptable. He didn't care one bit, laughing in the background with his friends like it was a joke. Shameful way to run a business. If anyone understands respect especially regarding the food industry. Will accept that this is not how a manager/owner whatever the title your tax papers say should be how you manage a customers insight. Pho is trash here as well. The broth is extremely watered down and has NO flavor. Ramen will always be superior, PHO is trash, water boiled with spices need I say more?. Go somewhere else. I'd rather go to McDonald's than put a dollar here ever again. Also 15.50 for 5 egg rolls is diabolical. You guys need to wake up. It's just pork with some spices, wrapped in rice paper fried in the worst oil that costs 50 bucks for 5 gallons that they reuse for over a week. Wake up people, restaurants like this is are a total sham and slap in the face for anyone who works hard and wants to have a decent meal. Pure trash. Never again. read more

I ordered Golden Deli through Uber Eats for a quick meal, and they definitely satisfied my craving for a good Banh Mi! Their service was really quick, my order being ready after about 10 minutes from sending the order. When I arrived, the staff was very friendly, and pickup was super seamless! I ordered a banh mi as well as a Vietnamese coffee. The banh mi was super solid; however, the Vietnamese coffee was super, super sweet. I've never had Vietnamese coffee before, but given that it's made with condensed milk, I assumed it would lean on the sweeter side, but not to this extent. I had to wait until the ice melted, which then made it a sweetness that I am more used to. Overall, this is a pretty solid spot! Definitely would visit again, but maybe not get the coffee. read more

Golden Deli Temple City - Banh Mi and Iced French Coffee - Vietnamese Near Me - Temple City, California

I've been coming here since they opened. As a kid, we went to their original location in SG frequently. I love their egg rolls. The pork chop here has gotten thinner and more dry over the years but I dunno why I still get it. The pho is solid too. I've had the spring rolls and banh hoi with meatballs and shrimp paste which are also good. This location's menu is more catered to the younger or American crowd cause it's pretty much all in English and it's basically all pick your own combo. I still come here instead of the original cause it's closer and parking is usually easier. Prices have gotten higher over the years but then again what hasn't. I'm sure there are cheaper places but for the quality and service you get, it's a solid choice. read more

We went there for a late lunch and ordered three 3-bean drinks, chicken wings, the pho combination, and tomato crab meat soup. The only standout was the 3-bean drink -- everything else was average. I especially didn't like that the soup wasn't hot enough. There were four of us (two adults and two kids), and we didn't even want to finish the dishes. The service was also unprofessional -- we asked for a bowl, and the server forgot about it right after. read more

We had a really delicious lunch here. Wait was 10 minutes and we were seated quickly The food brought us so much comfort and the portions were huge! The vermicelli (beef and egg roll was our favorite.) the egg roll was extremely crispy and well filled. The Bun Bo hue was so hearty and the broth was perfec. We ordered a large so they gave us extra noodle and it was definitely extra! The rice dish was also very solid - huge portions and meat was cooked perfectly. read more

I thought everyone likes this place but me until I read the reviews here, apparently not. Ordered uber eat, 3 spring rolls, a 2 items combo rice and a pork broth, 2 shrimp & pork spring roll and the pork broth were good but the other spring roll and the 2 items rice combo were terrible, I ordered grilled beef spring roll, pork chop and grilled pork rice, didn't order jerky but seems like it, they were extremely tough, clearly way over cooked, this is not the first time but I thought maybe it's just a one time thing but actually not, tougher and tougher each time, only took 2 bites then only ate the rice read more

So good and homey and comforting. I always get the pho here. I love the pho here because it's always solid and hits the spot on a cold/cloudy/rainy day. The flavor is good, the ingredients are fresh. The restaurant is very clean. It hits all the marks. My go to is the pho tai. The egg rolls are always so good as well. If you want something other than or in addition to the pho, I recommend those. Parking is not too hard to find on the street in front, the lot in the back is a bit small, but there's lots of parking in the neighborhood too. read more

This is my wife and I's go-to pho place. It's not always consistent so that's why it's a 4 vs 5 star for me. However it usually slaps. I go with the regular pho tai always and it gets my pho fix. We've tried their egg rolls too and those were spectacular - crispy on the outside but juicy and scrumptious on the inside. I've also had one of their noodle dishes and it was just as great. I think their fish sauce is a bit sweeter than my usual taste though. read more

Super surprised that all the Vietnamese restaurants in the area closes at 8PM. Got there at 7:20 and quickly ordered 3 phos with summer rolls. The shrimp pork summer rolls were very clean. You could taste the freshness! The pho with all the meats offered was good like other pho places. The spicy beef pho was a bit underwhelming though. It seemed the same as the regular pho but just with loaf meat and chili oil added to it read more

Service is good A bit pricey Overall solid Vietnamese place. Pho is average- which isn't bad- I'd get it again. The com tam plate has pretty small portions honestly (wouldn't recommend here) The eggrolls are delicious but so darn expensive !! Usually there's a wait on the weekend Decently clean, some parking in back. read more

Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! I was in the mood for a Banh Mi and this hit the spot! The ambiance is super chill!!! They play a variety of music which catches the ear and adds to the senses. The staff is super friendly and they have kick ass service. The sandwich bread was super crunchy, flaky, and messy. The perfect foundation to start off something right. I asked for plenty of jalapeños and cilantro, and they delivered the pickled carrots and daikon add a tinge of sweetness to the sandwich. I chose the grilled steak and onions for my protein and by far this is one of the places I would come back to for another sandwich. I also added hoisin sauce, cause I'm a sucker for that stuff and Sriracha. Steak is super tender and the onions just add the extra flavor that topped it all off. I'm a fan of pho and the rest of the delicious Vietnamese dishes that they offer so next time I'll come back and try everything else because the customers that were there made the food look even better as they were enjoying it. Anyway come to Golden Deli! read more

Golden Deli is a Vietnamese restaurant in Temple City with parking available in the back. Inside, there are plenty of tables, and I was seated in a booth, which had a call-for-service button. However, the service was attentive, checking in regularly, so I didn't need to use it. I came for Sunday night dinner and was seated quickly. The regular pho, priced at $14.50, was a nicely sized bowl filled with plenty of noodles, beef, and fresh garnishes like bean sprouts, basil, lime, and jalapeño. It was large enough to be shared between two people. The Com Tám three-item combo plate for $16.95 was very delicious. My favorite parts were the baked egg and grilled beef, both flavorful and well-cooked. The dish also came with a generous portion of rice, fish sauce, peanuts, and cucumber, making for a satisfying meal. Everything was delicious and priced affordable. I have no complaints. The service was quick and efficient, and the overall ambiance felt relaxing and private, especially from the comfort of a booth in the back of the restaurant. read more

Very disappointing Saturday takeout experience. The egg rolls and dry noodles were good, but the chicken pho was surprisingly bad . We opened our order within 30 minutes of picking it up, so it wasn't a timing issue. Their service is usually reasonably fast and friendly, and the place was still busy with many people waiting in the lobby. But the food quality tonight was not up to their usual standard. At this point, it doesn't feel worth the wait or the price anymore. We really hope that they can improve their quality control to make sure the food they serve consistently meets expectations. We might not come back in a while. read more

I've eaten here first few times as a dine-in customer, and as a frequent take-out customer post-pandemic, within the span of nearly a decade it feels - food quality is CONSISTENT. With many other places driving up their prices, this place stays reasonably affordable making it a go-to compared to other places. Selling good quality food at an affordable rate is, like In-N-Out, a sure way to have repeat customers lining out the door for your business. I don't think I've ever gotten a bad order from here, they always have all the toppings, sauces, drinks that I ordered done right, food quality is always the same, they are rightly named GOLDEN. Every time I go the place is poppin', many customers eating close until closing and in many times there is a line of people picking up take-out or waiting to done-in. Bravo to the Golden Deli team for their hard work! read more

This is my absolute comfort food on lazy days! I'm so glad that they opened up an app where you can place your order online and can skip the wait. I grew up loving to eat at Golden Deli since their food is always consistent. They're located on Las Tunas Dr with minimal street parking and a parking lot in the back. It wasn't too difficult to find parking since the nearby businesses were already closed when I went to go pick up my order. I ordered a #2 with lean cut beef and a side order of egg rolls. If you ask them for no veggies, they give you an extra egg roll when you order their 5 piece. I love the rice paper rolled egg rolls that are deep fried to give you a perfect crunch with every bite. I did go home and reheat the broth and I thought that there was a ton of flavor without needing to add anything in it. read more

I agree with Daniel's review 10 days before this review. I ordered DoorDash from this location accidentally thinking it was the San Gabriel location. First, the pho was absolutely bland. Like absolutely 0 broth flavor. I had to file a chargeback, thats how unhappy I was with it. The egg rolls were not any better. Extremely salty fish sauce. Non crunchy. Whoever manages this location is clearly fucking up when the San Gabriel location is thriving. read more

The staff is always nice and the food is plentiful and tasty. It definitely looks very different than it did back in the day, but looks really nice inside.

I do miss the old school Golden Deli and when prices were cheaper. My family and I are always return customers. read more

Food is always good here serving is just enough! reservations is recommended since its always busy.

This place have street parking, is quite busy so make sure you come ahead of time with anticipation on waiting at least 30-45 minutes for a table (sometimes more). i heard a lot of good thing about their original location, but thought to check out their temple city location because I'm already around the area. ordered their broken rice dish, because i wasn't in the pho mood, and also - you can't go wrong with broken rice. their dish was delicious, their eggrolls were good but not amazing where i'd order 5 or 6 for $17, which is an insane price for eggrolls by the way (no matter how amazing they taste). their combo was a better price and you can choose eggroll as one of their side dishes (so you can try it without the heafy cost), I do think overall it was okay as Vietnamese food, but to consider them top tier, probably not. maybe something was lost in transition when building this add on place but i felt like if i were to wait this long, i should be having the most amazing food? but their service is more like self service, very rushed and not really enough time in explaining for first timer. i don't think i would come back per say. but good try. will try their original location and hope for better experience very loud of a place by the way - expect that if you are not a fan of overstimulation since we are all sharing our honest truths. The food wasn't that great, was already cold/lukewarm when it has gotten to our table. We were not able to get the waiters therefore felt like self service because I kept having to go to the counter. The waiters did not really explain the menu right when we had told them we never been there, because they didn't really speak English. I neglect to add all those along with the bathroom not being cleaned as to public health standards which makes me worry for the kitchen. Their standard parking lot is hard to get in and out and barely have any parking. Don't recommend the parking there. Not to mention, they don't really have the spaces to wait and does not really have a managed wait system while waiting as they skipped us while calling names too and we had to go up and asked them. And we waited inside right next to them too. Ventilation wasn't really going off so the place is a bit humid and feeling like an incubation of germs too. I'd say don't listen to me and i wish i was lying but seems like im not the only one leaving low review. But with the owner being so disrespectful just show class of how he handles his business. Is this an owner you want to support when there are so many more option that are better? And looking at the reviews and the responses from the owner just make it even more petty. Like really would I want to support this business? I'm good. read more

Delicious, fast, quick, and efficient service! I was seated right away after a brief wait. The line is very long and packed at night on weekdays and weekends, so I recommend coming earlier to avoid the wait! In my eyes, Golden Deli is the best Vietnamese pho restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley! Service-wise, they are swift with the order! I ordered the Com Tam with Eggroll, Porkchop, and Egg, which came out in less than 5 minutes! My girlfriend ordered the large pho brisket, with big servings of onions and cilantro, along with bean sprouts/condiments/lime. This is a really big shareable portion, and it could easily be 3-4 people! I like the cleanliness of the pho, as the broth is boiled to perfection for hours, with little to MSG flavoring, which was really delicious! Simple and clean flavors, which are refreshing to the body! The Com Tam was packed with cucumbers and shredded rice, and the porkchop was juicy and tender! What I like about the porkchop compared to other Com Tam locations is that the porkchop is not too crispy but not too soft, it is just the right amount of crispiness that intensifies the flavors of the pork! The egg is cooked perfectly, with a soft and tender flakiness to it. The eggroll is crispy and fried to perfection! Absolutely will be coming back! The price is very affordable and convenient to those in the area! Tip: They accept Apple Pay and Cash for anyone wondering! read more

We've been going to the San Gabriel location for years, but I was unfortunately disappointed by the food quality here. The location interior design seems a lot more modern, and definitely not as busy. The menu is smaller and seems a bit more expensive (could be wrong because the other location may have adjusted too), the portion size was comparable but the pieces of meat was definitely lacking in the combo pho. We also got their banh mi, that was actually better than the pho imo. Staff was friendly, but they seem to be swamped with take out orders. read more

This is a tried and true place for us to come to. They have some of the best fried egg rolls that we have ever had. Always crunchy, flavorful, and very meaty! The beef stew is also another favorite. It is a bit salty, but the beef broth with the very large chunks of beef stew over rice is amazing on a cold day. On hot summer days, I get their grilled pork bun. This is a nice salad and dry noodle bowl and if you don't want to order a full order of the egg rolls, just add it as a side. They have two different types of broths for their pho noodle bowls. Both of them give off the feeling that it's a slow-cooked soup with complex flavors. The portions are generous for both the noodles and the meat. While it may get busy during peak meal times, they serve the food very quickly after you order. The wait staff are always helpful and accommodating. This specific location is a little bit smaller than the one in San Gabriel, but more the decor is more modern. read more

I went to the original Golden Deli over 15 years ago and thought it was just okay. I felt like giving this location a try recently. We either found street parking or parking in the lot behind the block. - Bo Kho beef stew ($16). The stew liquid was thin, like a broth, and not too oily. I enjoyed the flavors of tomato with a hint of sweetness, spices, and aromatics. Unfortunately, the broth was too salty for me. The beef and tendon were soft, but I thought the meat could have gone longer. I simmered my leftovers for an additional 30 minutes with more water and unsalted vegetables. At least the baguette was good: soft, fluffy, slightly chewy, with a crispy thin skin. I also enjoyed the tiny bits of something with a nut-like texture in the soup. - Cha trung steamed egg ($3.60). It's rare to find cha trung as a side, so I jumped at the opportunity. It was good, my favorite item of the meal, but not my favorite cha trung. There was kind of a lot of rice noodle in the filling. I had a bite of my bf's Regular Pho ($14). He ordered it with every meat option including tendon and tripe. The broth was okay, noodles were somewhat chewy, and meat was tough. read more
